Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: n+otes at 4.7 against Flow's 3.3. n+otes also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 3). Flow's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. n+otes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Flow sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
n+otes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: n+otes has 45K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of n+otes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
n+otes ships an update fortnightly, Flow every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
